My current backpack tends to fall over easily with the laptop inside. Does this backpack have a decent base and stand up very well?

Me too. My problem is the same. For this reason I don't like this targus product. I don't know what happened with the design.

Mine has just fallen and it is not even full right now. I normally prop it up against the wall, or in a chair against a table when loading and unloading it. The functionality otherwise is excellent and FAR outweighs this slight.

It appears to be well padded and the laptop is secure. Because it is a lighter bag, you are probably less likely to drop it; I've dropped others in the past because they were heavy. I haven't dropped this one yet so I don't know for sure.

My 15.6" laptop fits well, and there's still plenty of space for other stuff. I've used it to hold luggage for two-three day work trips with no problem

Yes my 17in laptop goes on it. It is a little wiggly but it works. I did not try propping it up yet.

Hi, My husband and I both think YES. It accomodates my laptop very well and it's 5 years old so is not light.

The base does not fold, so if the backpack is large enought to take the rectangular base and wheels it should be ok.

I think the 17.3 laptop will be a little big for it when inclined. The stand will certainly hold it as it is very sturdy. If you won't mind the laptop's frame being slightly bigger than the inclining panel, go for it!

Its pretty sturdy. Not sure how much weight it will hold. We have 2 laptops on it and you can lean on it with no problem.

Believe it or not--yes. I just brought my laptop down to try it out. There is a slight wobble but that's possibly because i don't have the laptop secured in the straps, etc. I just set it on top. I'm not sure this would replace my standing desk/ledge, because it's not completely motionless, but it does completely hold a laptop sturdily enough to type. I hope that helps! (and note, the laptop in question is fairly heavy--older vintage MacBook Pro, fwiw.)

Probably not, the bottom isn't that well padded, and the laptop could make contact with the floor with minimal padding in between. It'd be better off however than if it was in an ordinary backpack.

oh yes!! it will. Its like the size and has the ability and compartments of a regular school book bag or even hiking/camping/all terrain book bag. But theres a special compartment in the back that's closest to your back when you have it on that holds the laptop. I have the new Asus 17 in laptop and its even protected in that compartment. Theres a Velcro adjustable strap in the back compartment you can use to help secure or adjust the size of it for a tighter fir or looser fit. I can easily upload more pics of mine if you like? Iv also dropped the bag with my laptop and a bunch of other things in the bag from standing position to the rocky ground and it landed on its back right where the laptop sits and my laptop was perfectly fine. Im a paramedic firefighter and I have no patience so Im pretty rough on my toys including the expensive ones like my laptop and this book bag but its held up great both with me at work and at home with my 3 yr olds destructive nature.

I bought it for my 17" laptop and it is sufficient. The laptop does hang over each side about an inch but it is not a problem.

Hi Melinda,Yes! It is flimsy! But it is still OK if you put 6 lbs laptop on it. I actually tried 6 lbs rice on it to see how it works, it is OK. Only one thing you need to be careful is this product is not strong enough for the side way. The leg is easily fold. Enjoy!

It does hold its shape ok fine with just misc. stuff in it. The one in the pic has been stuffed with a box. I know it does not stand on its own even with my laptop in it. It really is a laptop bag, though, and the pockets are set up for such. Three partitioned areas for laptop, iPad, Intuos pad etc. Then a couple of misc. small pockets and another large open area where I throw the power cord and misc. cabling. One more quick-access compartment(again... really big) that you can get to without opening the flap. Nice enough bg for the price, just not as versatile as I thought it would be.

No.... Weight, yes the stand can hold the weight.. But the laptop is too big to fit on the rubber feet under the laptop. Yes it will fit, but you will scratch the bottom of laptop on the stand and it will slip off because it's metal on metal, no rubber feet. I do not recommend it

It depends on how much you put in the front zipped compartment. Without a laptop in the bag, mine falls over forward, with a laptop, mine stays upright.

Yeah it is. Plus where you place the laptop is rubbery so your laptop wont fall off.
